fun read, thank you. a very patient spike.

Phew -- that was some driving lesson! At least Buffy is realising how she's making him suffer.

Good to see Buffy actually considering how her actions might affect Spike!

I like this story very much so far. I like how you have Buffy written in it.

I love it! And I absolutely adore this vulnerable side of Buffy. She's just so cute like that! :) And I even like this Spike! Which is nice for a change.

Hope to see more soon!

Very nice chapter. Does Buffy remember that driving is a prelude to sex in the Buffyverse?

You've captured their tentative, confused and touching attempts at working out their relationship perfectly. And both Buffy and Spike are right in character - just spot on. As for the dialogue - I could practically hear their voices. This is just beautifully written. I'm in awe. My only complaint is that I now have yet another wip to keep up with. *sigh* The life of a Spuffy fan is just so hard.

"The street would be my first choice,” he said dryly. “less you’re planning to get there by drivin’ over lawns.”
This had me laughing out loud. Love your dialogue, very in character and clever.

I am pleased that this Buffy realizes she is taking advantage of his feelings for her and it matters to her. She is also beginnning to wonder about his limits unlike canon Buffy. Nicely done and more like the girl we really knew than the one they gave us.

Nice to see Buffy acknowledging that Spike actually HAS feelings, and that she's abused them far too often. *Spike fan jumps up, waving a GO SPIKE flag madly* I always found it interesting that Spike was able to change his basic personality traits for the people he loved i.e. showing so much patience when he practically suffers from ADD. *Spike fan sticks tongue out at reader, begins waving sign that says "Spike can do no wrong!"* I can only say again how much I love your Spike voice; you really have his reactions and emotions down pat, and... *reader trails off as Spike fan does cartwheels all around the room, singing "Spike is great, Spike is great" at the top of their lungs* Yeah, I'm done. *Spike fan does victory dance as reader leaves room*

I really wish that were the way I'd learned to drive. Except it would actually have to be with Spike, 'cause my actual driving instructor wasn't that pretty...
